CLINICAL PRACTICE ASSESSMENT OF BREASTFEEDING AFTER CESAREAN SECTION AT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER HO CHI MINH CITY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The first month postpartum is a crucial period when most mothers take their infants for routine follow-up visits. Determining the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers who have undergone cesarean section one month after delivery will help clinicians and healthcare policymakers implement timely interventions and counseling strategies for these mothers. Research objectives: To determine the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers one month after cesarean section at the University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on mothers one month postpartum after cesarean section at the University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City, from November 2024 to January 2025. Results: The rate of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers one month postpartum after cesarean section at the University Medical Center, Ho Chi Minh City, was 40.4% (95% CI: 35.5 - 45.3). Statistically significant factors associated with breastfeeding practice in this population included: attending antenatal classes that covered breastfeeding topics, early initiation of breastfeeding, post-cesarean wound pain, receiving counseling from healthcare professionals, and receiving support from family members. Conclusion: The rate of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers one month postpartum after cesarean section at the hospital remains relatively low. Policies and interventions to improve this rate should be considered.
